Default slammed LS430

Sorry for the dark pics... this is my first experiment with suspension... car is '02 LS430, and I'm using Tein CS w/ EDFC... may not be everyone's taste tho....

Still waiting for my wheels to come...

Take these pics over to the photoshop forum and have them doctor on a few nice larger wheels to see the results.

Has it changed a lot being that low?
Yes it has... I believe the front underbody plastic cover now has lots of scratches and bruises due to rubbing / scrapping the road... :P

Naaah... that's due to me not driving careful enough, and currently the car sits a little too low, I will raise it soon... if you mean the ride, I've cranked the settings on the Teins up to full 16 and they still maintain a reasonably comfortable ride according to my butt-o-meter... none of my friends complained on the ride.

At the lowest settings (0 on EDFC) the Teins are very slightly harder than stock, almost unnoticeable... at full 16, they're a tad harder than that... and still comfy. They really perform like their CS name
